SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-LX-5DS-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-LX-5DS-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode links with a nominal data rate of 1250 Mbit/s and an operating wavelength of 1310 nm. Encased in a metal housing and weighing approximately 3 g, the module uses an SFP form factor and a duplex LC optical interface. It operates from a 3.3 V supply and is intended for reliable optical connectivity in network equipment that accepts standard SFP transceivers.

Advantages

This transceiver conforms to MSA-compatible SFP specifications and supports 1000BASE-LX class applications over single-mode fiber, providing stable optical transmission up to typical LX distances. The compact metal housing ensures mechanical durability and EMI shielding while the low weight facilitates easy hot-plug installation. The module is compatible with common networking platforms that accept SFP modules and is built using components selected for long service life and consistent optical performance.

How to use

Install the SFP-LX-5DS-BO by inserting it into a compatible SFP slot on the network device until it latches. Connect a single-mode LC duplex patch cable between transceivers or to a patch panel, ensuring transmit and receive fibers are correctly crossed. Power the host device (3.3 V supply requirement is handled by the host) and verify link status via the device management interface or LEDs. If the host supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM), enable or query the diagnostics to monitor voltage, bias current, optical power and temperature.

Recommendations

Verify that the target switch, router or storage system accepts third-party SFP modules and supports the DDM/DOM functions you plan to use. Use certified single-mode LC patch cords and follow proper fiber handling practices to maintain optical performance. For reliable long-term operation, avoid frequent mechanical stress and keep the module and connectors free of dust; use dust caps when ports are unused.
